These layout are very simple figures with a touch of minimalism. Although I have a very confident style in digital art, I am still experimenting with hand painted arts. The question of a national identity comes into this topic. Nobody cares about Western or Asian digital art, or like Indian digital art and American digital art. But when it comes to paintings, people have this appetite for national identity through paintings.
I guess digital art is not a symbol of national culture, rather it can be said that some artists do digital works in a very generalised way. But painting is about the artist and his or her cultural identity. This extra load was actually injected in me from my Fine Arts faculty at Dhaka University. 'Do this painting represent us?'- this was the question. Now if I have to represent a long lasting Bangladeshi cultural perception in my painting and also show my own ideas, then its troubling.
In a way this saves from comments like that this artist is just copying American artists or
something similar. The question of pure originality is debatable issue and research is possible on this.
